Mobility Data Specification (MDS)
MDS standardizes communication and data-sharing between cities and private mobility providers, such as e-scooter and bike-share companies.
MDS gives cities insight into how their public realm is being navigated, and the tools to improve that experience for all.
- Real-time and historic data allows better planning and program management
- Digital management greatly reduces operating costs and staff time spent monitoring mobility programs and service providers
- Allows real-time policy changes to be made to adapt to planned events and emergencies
- Supports policies that allow dynamic pricing, equitable access, and safety initiatives
